Can i get a BlackJack II as a GoPhone?
If so will the media net work with it? I currently have T-Mobile and they let me get any pre-paid phone. I just wanted to know if it was the same for AT&T. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can use a BJ on a prepaid service, however for internet connection the BJ requires a PDA data plan, and unfortunately that is not available on prepaid services, so you will unfortunately be confined to the pay per use media net ($0.01 per KB used) that is by default on all prepaid services.

Treo 750 also requires a PDA data plan, but only on postpaid as per AT&T's compatibility list it's compatible with MEdiaNet Unlimited on PYP. Since there are no official guidelines for compatibility with features on PAYG, if the phone works, it must be compatible.

it does work, it'll do everything it'll do on a rate plan. packages are available. right now you can get unlimited medianet for 19.99...however they may take the 19.99 unlimited package away from us...so don't count on that package being there forever.

Unfortunately this is in violation of not only the forum guidelines but also the terms and conditions of service, the BJ requires a PDA package that you can only get on a post paid service, yes it may work, but that doesn't mean it is allowed to be used, also tethering is against the media net terms and conditions as well. also a moderator has been notified as well.

Your suggestion here violates the Wireless Terms of your service, the GoPhone Terms of Service and the guidelines of this forum, so I would refrain, going forward, from posting such content. GoPhone devices should only be used with GoPhone plans and their functionality. AT&T doesn't offer any plans which support tethering while using a GoPhone. The forum has rules against promoting such actions. Rules which can result in the permanent removal of posting permissions.
Thank you.
